Hi guys --

yes, I think you're right -- it looks like SpamAssassin 3.1.x rule
updates are not generated automatically, unlike the trunk ones :(

Theo, what's the procedure to push out 3.1.x updates?

I posted this a while ago:

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ManualRuleUpdates

It's even linked in from the Development Information link. :)

You've got to roll your own.

  - commit changes to rules/branches/3.1/ and to branches/3.1/rules/

  - do some testing of the rules if you're feeling unlucky

  - make the update package, update dns
